I'll put you guys on my list of mods to consider. Power mods this year, and suspension mods next year. Thanks



Some guy was selling the rear xbrace for an unbelievably good price (under $100 - thanks guy!) and when I stopped by Eurosport's shop to pickup the mounting hardware, I went ahead and picked up the upper strut tower stress bar. I happen to install the upper strut bar first and noticed such a big improvement in handling feel, then when the rears went in a few days later, it was better but almost anticlimatic. So I was just about to get the front lower bars when I was stopped by the thought of losing ground clearance - my subframe has multiple sections missing 1/4" to 1"+ chunks - thanks LA roads - so I went and got an aluminum skid plate. It is a sizable piece that covers the entire front end bottom and attaches by good number of screws. An unexpected benefit was when the skid plate went on I immediately had deja vu from when I first put the Eurosport stress bars on. The handling feel and chassis rigidity had improved! So of course it makes sense. You take out a plastic piece that spans the entire front of the car for a larger metal piece, that mounts up by numerous fastening points, it will act as a stress bar! I definately recommend that you get all 3 or if you're lowered, 2 upper and combine it with a skid plate, especially if you're dropped and skid often... Looks are subjective but I prefer the no nonsense black tubing (bare metal even better) over the crinkle coated aluminum on the other guy's bars, and both probably clean up the handling feel. Such a good mod and reasonably priced!

We're glad your happy...looks good, and sure it handles solid! :thumbsup:


I want those three bad....
